Chapter 979: Discussion

After arriving at the small building, Huangfu Chaobo did not enter the meeting room immediately, but sat down in his study first. He wanted to wait until everyone was present before going in, mainly to give everyone some time to communicate.

Just after two quarters of the morning, which was about eight o'clock in the morning in real time, all the people who were ordered to come to the meeting had arrived. Dian Wei reported outside the study: "My lord, all the generals and officials have arrived."

"Okay, let's go too, don't let everyone wait too long."

Before approaching the meeting room, Huangfu Chaobo heard what the people inside were saying. When the guards at the door saw Huangfu Chaobo coming over, they hurriedly shouted loudly at the door: "The general is here!"

As they said, the two guards opened the side door of the meeting room, and everyone inside immediately quieted down. When Huangfu Chaobo walked into the hall, everyone bowed down together.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the lord!"

"I pay my respects to the lord!"

"No need to be polite!" Huangfu Chaobo walked quickly to the main seat, stretched out his hand to support it and said;

"Thank you, lord!"

"Okay, everyone, please sit down!"

After everyone thanked again, they returned to their seats. At this time, in addition to the three military divisions, Xu Shu, and Tian Feng, the governors of other counties and the commanders of the war camps were called to the meeting. Of course, Zuo Chengzu and Kong Xin of Lujiang did not come to participate in the meeting. After all, Lujiang was newly settled, and they had nothing to do in the next battle. In addition, there were three veterans of Huangfu Song.

However, there was one person who was not invited by Huangfu Chaobo to participate in the meeting, that was Sima, the governor of Luoyang. It can be said that Huangfu Chaobo is still deeply wary of the Sima family. This meeting is too important, so Huangfu Chaobo did not even think of letting Sima Fang participate.

After everyone sat down, Huangfu Chaobo slowly said: "As you all know, the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the matter of sending troops to fight Cao. However, before that, I want to announce the promotion and reward of the generals, which will also be conducive to the discussion of the war strategy later."

As he said, Huangfu Chaobo explained in detail the plan he had thought about for several days and confirmed.

Then, Huangfu Chaobo rewarded Huang Zhong and the other five one by one. Among the five, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Xu Rong's merits had already reached the requirements of the third rank, but because of the official position limit of their master, they had not been promoted. This time, the official positions of the four of them were promoted.

Zhang He, on the other hand, did not accumulate much military merit when he was under Han Fu. It was only after Han Fu surrendered that Huangfu Chaobo gave him several cheats, which led to a sharp increase in military merit. Especially in the Huainan War this time, Huangfu Chaobo asked him to lead the troops alone several times, and later he asked him to capture several cities in Huainan alone, which made him meet the requirements of the third rank. This time, it can be said that he got what he wanted.

After handing over the official uniforms and official seals that had been prepared to them in person, Huangfu Chaobo handed over the other reward materials to them, and inevitably encouraged them again, and then let them leave.

Next is the appointment of several military advisors, and then the appointment of the chief generals of each camp. The appointment of all the people present was carried out by Huangfu Chaobo himself. The reward appointments of other people were handed over by the chief generals of each camp after Huangfu Chaobo announced them.

No one had any objection to the appointment of the generals of the war camp, but the appointment of the four county lieutenants surprised everyone, especially the fathers of the four lieutenants present, who asked Huangfu Chaobo to reconsider carefully.

Especially the youngest Hua Yao, who was only 24 years old this year, was appointed as a county lieutenant. Hua Xiong, who was straightforward, directly expressed his opposition and said, "My lord, this little bastard of mine is too young. He is only 24 years old. My lord let him be a county lieutenant. I am afraid that he will ruin my lord's big plan.!"

"It doesn't matter," Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and smiled, "Bo Ming (Hua Xiong's eldest son's name) is already 24 years old. He followed you to fight on the battlefield when he was 16 years old. It has been eight years now. There are not many problems with the county lieutenant,

not to mention that they are just daily training, and they will not be arranged to lead a large army to fight. Can't they handle this matter? "

As he said, he laughed and said: "Zijing and Shiyuan are younger than him, but they can still plan and strategize. Wudie is the same age as him and can still be the commander of a battalion. Bo Mingqi can't even be a county lieutenant, which weakens General Hua's reputation as the tiger of Guanxi. "

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Hua Xiong smiled and said no more.

Huangfu Chaobo also knew their worries and said: "The four of them have been fighting in the army for many years. Now their positions are at least the positions of a school lieutenant. How can they not be a county lieutenant? Don't worry. Besides, I will only let them serve as temporary lieutenants. If I can't satisfy you after half a year of inspection, I will transfer them back to the army to continue to serve as lieutenants. "

After hearing this, everyone was really relieved. But think about it, the four of them are basically lieutenants of the combat battalion, and they have been in the army for many years. The position of captain is very high, commanding tens of thousands of troops, but they don't have to lead troops into battle. Usually they only need to train the troops, which is basically no problem.

The promotion and reward came to an end, and Huangfu Chaobo said: "Okay, everyone, the promotion and reward is over. After the meeting, I will inform the three armies. Next, we will enter the second agenda of this meeting, which is also the most important one."

As he spoke, Huangfu Chaobo nodded to Xu Shu, and everyone quieted down upon seeing this. If the following events happened hundreds of years ago, they could be described in one sentence: "The whole country's strength was mobilized", so everyone was extremely cautious.

Xu Shu stood up when he saw that everyone had quieted down. He first bowed to Huangfu Chaobo, then bowed to the rest of the people, and then slowly said: "My lord, the three old generals, all the lords, all the generals, we all know that the lord had already asked us to prepare to send troops to the east to attack Cao Cao after the Huainan war last year, so the general's office began to collect food and weapons from the cities in Guandong last year. At present, Puyang, Chenliu, Chenguo and Ruyin have collected hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass, enough for the 300,000 troops for half a year, and hundreds of thousands of weapons and equipment have arrived."

"After the lord returned from Huainan last time, he discussed with us and determined the general strategy for next year's war. It was basically determined to be a strategy of attacking the west and defending the east. The general's office has also issued a document to inform you. This time, the lord summoned us to determine the detailed strategy."
